Very nice service and foods so tasty.. quick response..
Delicious food. Very helpful with vegan options. And Shanti was very friendly :)
Highlt reccomend
Can't wait to go back for more spring hoppers!
Visited this Sri Lankan cuisine restaurant. They have a good variety of the Sri Lankan specialities.
Stir Fried Cuttle Fish (Highly Recommend. Batter fried cuttle fish, stir fried with dried red chillies in a hot butter sauce)
Deviled Prawns (Though the prawns were cooked well, it was just spicy and lacked other flavours)
String Hoppers with Sambol & Dhal (Must try. 8 small pieces of soft string hoppers, served with coconut sambol and Dhal)
Roasted Chicken Koththu (Must try. Flaky Parathas chopped into tiny pieces, sautéed with onions, green chillies and roasted chicken bits)
Woodapple smoothie (The smoothie was a bit watery, which would’ve been great otherwise)
Black Tea with ginger (Ginger infused black tea was the perfect way to end my heavy meal)
Well-portioned food at reasonable prices. The staff were friendly, but the service was a tad slow. Overall, a good experience.
My fav sri lanakan restaurant ❤
Delicious Lankan food! Mmm prawn curry and kothu Roti. Great service! Highly recommend.
Was trying Sri lankan for the first time. Ordered for Roasted Chicken Kotthu, Vegetable fried rice, Rice & Curry & Nasigoreng. Food did not disappoint me. Nasigoreng was good, its a Malaysian style Chicken fried rice.
Dal - 100% must try , loved it.
Chicken curry made well, a bit tangy for my liking.
String hoppers and plain hopper , best to eat when warm.
The taSte Takes You back to Sri Lanka
Happy eating

It’s our first time having Srilankan cuisine and no better place to begin with. Chef Lanka has been around for about 20 years serving some authentic and traditional Srilankan dishes across many branches in Dubai. They have now renovated the Karama branch and have totally got a new look in their interiors along with some spacious dining area. The menu is very elaborate and has a lot of dishes to try here. We started off with the sweet corn soup and some garden salad which was very refreshing to begin with, as they have used fresh vegetables for the salad. One of the main specialist food here is the hoppers, which in india we call as appam. You can either have a plain hopper or Egg mixed with it. The seafood noodles, is a good option for seafood lovers as it is served in a very good portion to share. One of the best dishes i tried here is the devil chicken and Sauce prawns with chili sauce, a spicy dish that i totally loved having. You must definitely try it here if you are ok with some yummy spicy food. They have also included Crab in their menu which is fried along with chili and egg. You could also opt for Butter sauce if you wish. Another authentic dish here is the Koththu, which is basically cooked with Roti and vegetables. It is one of their best sellers, and we chose Beef Koththu from their options. They also serve wood-apple juice, which is very good for digestion. Ending on a good note, we had their custard with jelly dessert. An amazing restaurant to visit along with some great staff service and vibrant ambiance.
Real taste of srilanka I love it .
A perfect kottu with srilankan authenticity! A must try at Chef Lanka! Reasonable price & a good dish for lunch or dinner!
Amazing srilankan food at affordable. Not a big fan of the other food but I mainly always go for the string hoppers with spicy prawn curry. The sambal is an amazing combination with the string hoppers and prawn curry.
The place is great! The hospitality is really good, the people are friendly as well as the food is wholesome and flavorful. You must order the lump rice, I believe one order will be able to feed the two of you, unless you’re really hungry. It’s a good place all in all!
The food was really amazing, it's our first time but not last. Sherin is so nice and very helpful very professional. The food is fresh and very tasty
Thanks Chef Lanka to remind me food of my motherland. We r usually ordering from there,bt these 2 times i felt like foods gave real taste and it's improved positively.
Suggesting kottu, nasi goreng, string hoppers.
Also chicken curry is little spicy and nice.
Bt need to improve speed of delivery service.
Finally had nice experience with chef lanka, we will order again and again.
Good to try a different cuisine and that was with chef lanka restaurant and the choice din go bad.since we were trying the food for the food time the attender had explained us in detail about the meal and which one to order ! So we went ahead in ordering chef special - Nasi goreng and butter squid , lemonade . Well the choice was perfect 👌🏼.
Food-4/5
Service -5/5
Ambience 4/5
Price -4/5
Recommended for a different choice of fooding
This is a lovely lil Lankan place that serves some really good food! Would highly recommend the batter fried cuttlefish and the hoppers! This place will definitely take you back to Sri Lanka when you hear the kothu being prepared.
Amazing Place very authentic Sri Lankan food. I recommend it! Superb as it has a delicious food and especially you will not regret the service. I definitely will come again...

First visit here. We were skeptical and unsure, but pleasantly surprised. Small joint with very lovely fresh food Prepared. We ordered nasi goreng, egg noodles, devilled prawns, crispy cuttle fish in hot butter sauce. All the items were very well prepared in a reasonable time, and reasonably priced. The service was polite and professional. Definitely a good shot for those who haven’t tried it.
On the down side the interiors and seating needs an upgrade.

Chef Lanka is my go-to place for some authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. Their delivery is also within time so it's completely hassle free. Their prices are super economical and portions are huge so it's great if you have someone to share the food along with you. If you don't have a good tolerance for for spicy food then it is better to inform the staff in advance.
My Recommendations- Nasi Goreng, Kotthu Roti
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Our Sri Lankan friend kept insisting that we should try out this place and so we finally did! As a group of 5, we got place quite easily because we arrived at 10:30pm.
We chose what seemed to be the popular choices as most tables were ordering the same and our Sri Lankan friend recommended the same. We had Hot Butter Cuttlefish, hoppers, Nasi Goreng and Kothu Roti.
The Hoppers were a great way to tantalize our palate, especially since it came with a chili sambal and an onion sambal. The cuttlefish was one of the most unique dishes I’ve tasted recently. There’s a popcorn-like quality to it which makes you keep going back for more! The nasi Goreng was a strange dish to see in a Sri Lankan restaurant because I’m accustomed to seeing it in Far East Asian countries. The Kothu Roti reminded me of the Kothu paratha that I’ve eaten in Keralite restaurants as it is torn-up Roti/paratha mixed with veg/non veg and stir fried.
For our drinks, we had orange juice and milo. Both were great, but a little too sweet.
Overall, GREAT food at a very reasonable price! 👍🏻 I’m definitely coming back for more!
Small spot well known amongst the sri Lankan community for authentic sri Lankan food. Ambience is alright.. does not do justice to the food served but is fine for an informal meet up with casual friends.
The kottu and 'sri Lankan Chinese' dishes stand out. The fried rice and hot butter cuttle fish taste very good. String hoppers and coconut sambol is a must have with potato gravy and a spicy curry. Food is generally nice and spicy, so make sure to let the server know ur spice levels.
Staff are friendly and accommodating
Amazing food and we really enjoyed it. I loved everything in it well balance and really worth the amount paid for highly recommend. Home delivered in quick time.
Have always been a fan of Nasi goreng, came across this restaurant in my quest for good nasi goreng.
The delivery was done within 40 mins and the food was hot when it reached me. the packing was good and they had kept the necessary cuttlery too.
The dish looked absolutely delectable and looks were not deceiving at all. It was really yummmm with loads of prawns and chicken. The rice was also really flavourful. The quantity is food.
The only suggestion would be to keep a side of sambal to this.
As an Indonesian, am happy to find out an authentic/real and best Nasi Goreng in Dubai!!!! Even far better than what they served in Indonesian restaurants in Dubai...They just need to add the garlic cracker and emping !!!!
For Sri Lankan’s, where else but Chef Lanka! My all time favorite is nothing but the seafood chopsuey! That spicy ness just hits right at the perfect spot!
For us, and anyone out there, if you are looking for authentic Lankan cuisine, this is the one stop place! Try their hot butter cuttle fish which is a Lankan favorite! Overall, chef lanka has never disappointed me! Kudos to that!
Great taste. Value for money. Love the taste of spicy food along with passion Fruit Juice🥤Staff also good ශ්රී ලාංකික ක්රමයට රසවත් ආහාර වේලක්
Was lovely. was pure moment of happiness, intense. thank you chef Lanka.
Very good food, fast service, clean.
One of my favorite restaurants to dine-in and take away and they are even very quick with deliveries.
the staff is really friendly and welcoming.
My husband and I love the food.
Just tried their Eid Biryani buffet and I must admit the flavors were outstanding! A very decent place for Srilankan cuisine...
The combo included:
Veg Biryani
Chicken korma
Cashew curry
Malay pickle
Minchi sambol
Fried Sprats
Raitha
And watallapam for dessert
Had the Saturday lunch buffet with family. Delicious Sri Lankan food with prefect rice and curry combinations. Hope if they had Sri Lankan fruits for dessert but still fine.... good value for money

I have never tried Sri lankan cuisine and now that i have am madly in love with it.. Tried the spicy seafood soup, perfectly made , spicy , sweet .. the taste would just make u go wallaa.. On my top 3 restaurants :)
Ordered Nasigoreng as have been longing to taste em... and boy did i get disappointed "NO".. Super delicious.. beef curry amazing...loved d food ..
As a sri Lankan, no one can be more critical about sri Lankan based food than us. I have been missing kottu for a long time. So as I was passing Karama, I remembered passing this place once. So hopped in, ordered a beef kottu with extra veges and a lime juice. And boy was I happy when I saw the plate of kottu being brought in. And oh boy was I even happier when it tasted good. So yes. Thank you Chef Lanka for helping me miss home a little less. Keep up this quality.
Edit: also in terms of delivery, I have yet to receive a delivery on time. Nothing to complain about the good though
Nasi Goreng is Amazing, they just need to work on their delivery time!
Timely delivery, kottu was very tasty

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) كان الطعام الذي حصلت عليه من هنا لذيذًا ، لكنني سأخبرك بمراجعة والدي لأنه كان أكثر إعجابًا:
سأعطي هذا الطعام علامات كاملة! كان هذا لذيذًا جدًا وأعتقد أنني سأطلب هذا كل يوم (من خلال deliveryoo). لقد كانت أصيلة للغاية. كان حار لذيذ! لا تنس أن تقول أنه يحتوي على أحجام كبيرة أيضًا! هل يمكنك منحهم 5 نجوم فقط؟
لقد طلبنا: نطاطات خيطية مع الضال وكاري كينج فيش وأرز مقلي بالبيض. أطعمت شخصين جائعين وشخصين نصف جائعين.
إذا قمنا بالترتيب في الواقع مرة أخرى ، فسوف ألتقط الصور! نحن فقط أكلناها بسرعة كبيرة.

The food I got from here was delicious but I will tell you my dad's review because he was the most impressed:
I will give this food full marks! This was so tasty and I think I will order this everyday (through deliveroo). It was so authentic. It was deliciously spicy! Don't forget to say that it had great portion sizes as well! Can you only give them 5 stars?
We ordered: string hoppers with dhal, king fish curry & egg fried rice. It fed two hungry people and two half hungry people.
If we do in fact order again, I will take photos! We just ate it too quickly.
(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) مطعم جميل. استمتعوا بالبوفيه. 25 درهم فقط.
سوف تحصل على اختيار صحي للطعام.
لا اعرف اسم الاطباق.
لكنها كانت لذيذة ، لذيذة.
يفتح البوفيه في الساعة 12 ظهرًا. الطبق مثير للاهتمام. مصنوعة من بعض الأوراق ، وتغطى بورق الموز.
أكل كل ما تستطيع. أنا أحب دجاجهم Devilled ، حار جدًا.
يجب عليك المحاولة.
